Escrito por Walter Scott


Walter Scott
Nació en 1771 en Edimburgo (Escocia). Desde 1792 recorrió los más remotos rincones de Escocia y recogió baladas del folklore local. Es considerado como el iniciador de la novela histórica. Con los beneficios por la venta de sus obras, mandó construir una enorme propiedad en Escocia, bautizada Abbotsford, de la cual en 1820 fue nombrado barón. Asociado a la firma de impresores de James Ballantyne y a la editorial de Archibald Constable, que sucumbieron a la crisis económica de 1826, rechazó ampararse en la bancarrota, y pagó durante el resto de su vida una deuda de más de 120.000 libras esterlinas. Falleció en 1832 en Abboostford.
